This garden covered a mass range of different styles. From a fern garden, productive garden, pineapple pit and jungle there was a huge variety to explore with a rich history behind its making.
After a significant amount of John's in the blood line, the gardens have been conserved and enhanced through many different influences.
One aspect that stood out to me the most was it being the only garden left in Europe with a pineapple pit, the value of a singular pineapple was equivalent to £30,000 back in he Georgian era. This value is symbolised by 2 pineapples on columnar pillars adjacent to the entrance gate which meant that it was owned by a significantly rich family.
My favourite part of the garden was the flower garden near the house, for me a garden should be grand and formal with many different textures and colours, this sufficed that (see image below). I found that through exploring the different gardens I was able to pin down my taste on gardens.
It was very overwhelming and definitely needs a second visit to take in all the beauty.
